Historian John Fennell has argued that this battle is overblown, claiming that only about 26 soldiers died for the losing side, as opposed to the 400 usually credited. The winning commander at this battle assembled his forces at a site called Raven's Rock. The losing commander had just won a victory at Tartu, but his forces had been recently driven out of Koporye and Pskov. The victorious general of this battle was aided by a group of Mongol horse archers as well as the Suzdalian forces of his brother (*) Andrei. Prior to it, the losing commander, Prince-Bishop Hermann of Dorpat, had scored enough victories to force the residents of a certain city to summon a general they had earlier banished from Novgorod. For 10 points, name this 1242 battle of the Northern Crusades in which Alexander Nevsky defeated Teutonic Knights thanks to the slipperiness of Lake Peipus.
